Hey guys, I'm swapping out my stock airbox and K&N filter for the twin Apexi power intake pod kit and wanted to know if I should be worrying about a retune. I'm not worried about heat soak of the pods because the car is driven Fwy everywhere and never really in traffic. That and it's winter now :( but just having a dumb moment and can't think if I'd need a tune or not. I'm thinking not but thought I'd ask anyways.

Thanks

well it's all in and been working great for the past couple of weeks. Interestingly I don't get the plume of black carbon and smoke at 4-5000rpm I used to get with the stock airbox, also the car feels more responsive on the throttle. I pulled the entire stock airbox out (naturally) but left the intake that feeds the airbox that comes from the front bumper up into just under the passenger side headlight. It's now forcing cold air into it though. I took off the resonator box that it normally feeds from that sits in the bumper, this was a sealed box interestingly, so that went and I took out the round plastic tube and cut it down a little so I could turn it around to face the front of the car and it feed cold air from the factory hole in the bumper. Free CAI for me :)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
